Phenotypic variation in diploid and tetraploid populations of Claytonia perfoliata (s.l.) (Portulacaceae)

Creator:: Miller, John M.
Abstract:: Meiotic chromosome counts from 200 populations of Claytonia (Montia) perfoliata (sensu lato) reveal a polyploid pillar complex based on three morphologically different, chemically distinct, and geographically defined diploids. The basic chromosome number is x=6. Diploid C. perfoliata Willdenow with linear juvenile leaves and deltoid mature basal leaves ranges southeastward from...

Analysis of the maize TOUSLED-LIKE KINASE gene family

Creator:: Yoon, Elizabeth S.
Abstract:: Protein kinases are an abundant class of enzymes which play important roles in numerous signal transduction systems. Arabidopsis TOUSLED kinase is a serine/threonine kinase which is essential for cell-cell communication within the shoot meristem. TOUSLED is encoded by a single gene in Arabidopsis. Recessive mutants in this gene show mild...

Responses and relationships among Fusarium species, sweet corn, and western spotted cucumber beetles

Creator:: Miller, Nathan L. (Nathan Louis)
Abstract:: Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) yields in the Willamette Valley of Oregon have been declining since the early 1990’s. Studies were done to determine if there is a relationship between ear weight and several disease parameters including necrotic crowns or stalk nodes, nodal root rot, radicle root rot, and sub-crown...

Pendent Usnea (Lichens; Ascomycetes; Parmeliaceae) in Western Oregon : taxonomy; morphological characters; and geographical distribution

Creator:: Pittam, Sherry K.
Abstract:: Pendent Usnea species were collected in western Oregon and examined. Character states, such as cortex-medulla-axis ratio; fibril length; papilla diameter; branching patterns; and presence or absence of fibrils, papillae, soredia, isidia; plus chemistry, were recorded and analyzed by inspection for differences. Historical names were researched in the literature. A comparison...

Effects of intercropping beans with maize on angular leaf spot and rust of beans

Creator:: Boudreau, Mark Alan, 1958-
Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine the nature of maize influence on bean disease in additive-type intercrops. Overall effects of intercrops on angular leaf spot (caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola) in Kenya indicated >23% reductions (P<0.05) in area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) in two of three season-site combinations. Fertilization tended...

Impacts of ponderosa pine forest restoration treatments on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community and fine root biomass in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)
Abstract:: Before the arrival of Euro-Americans, the inland Pacific Northwest was settled by native people whose frequent intentional burning of the landscape promoted open stands dominated by large fire-resistant ponderosa pine. Fire suppression for nearly a century, livestock grazing, and logging of the largest trees has resulted in forests characterized by...

Port-Orford-cedar and Phytophthora lateralis : grafting and heritability of resistance in the host, and variation in the pathogen

Creator:: McWilliams, Michael G.
Abstract:: Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a forest tree native to a small area of Oregon and California. A root disease caused by Phytophthora lateralis causes widespread mortality of Port-Orford-cedar. This dissertation examines three important elements of the Port-Orford-cedar P. lateralis pathosystem related to breeding for disease resistance: use of resistant rootstocks...

Crown gall in Oregon grapevines : biology and treatment of planting stock with hot water dips [1995-1996]

Creator:: Moore, Larry W., Miller, Marilyn L., and White, TJ
Abstract:: Oregon is a leader in production of premium wines in the United States and the industry has been expanding rapidly over the past few years. However, continued production and expansion of vineyards are threatened by infestation of phylloxera, Daktulospaira vitifoliae, an insect that feeds on roots. Most grapevines in Oregon...

Crown Gall of Grape Rootstocks

Creator:: Miller, Marilyn L., Tooley, Katie, Ferguson, Kathleen, Toma, Kyle, Mentzer, Jessica, and Moore, Larry W.
Abstract:: Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Pathogenic agrobacteria residing within the vascular system are able to initiate tumor growth in damaged plant cells. Sampling from 21 sites in Oregon vineyards and nurseries yielded diverse populations of pathogenic agrobacteria. Most of the pathogenic...
